"Fradley Park was the obvious call for us and WSUK made it painless. The M6 Toll at T5 means our trucks dodge the worst of the M6 and still make Birmingham drops on schedule."
A stock figure Lichfield businesses can trade on — counted continuously rather than once a year, with min/max alerts and ageing reports, on A38.
Stock control serving Lichfield: every unit located, counted continuously and reconciled, with live availability pushed to every channel so you cannot oversell. Full stocktakes quoted per count, reporting and integration from £150 per week. 45 minutes from DIRFT via A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9).
Inventory accuracy is not a warehouse vanity metric. It is what decides whether you oversell, over-order, or discover a problem at year end.
A rolling programme that counts fast-moving lines often and everything periodically — instead of one disruptive annual stocktake that tells you about last year.
When a count disagrees with the system we find out why — mis-pick, mis-receipt, damage, theft — because the reason is worth more than the adjustment.
Min/max levels set with you and alerted against, plus SKU, batch and expiry reporting so slow movers and short-dated stock surface early.
Inventory management is included on managed fulfilment accounts and priced separately where we hold stock only. Short-term rate card for monthly rolling; long-term contract rates tier down with pallet volume.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Located storage with perpetual cycle counting.
A complete wall-to-wall count where you need one.
Live stock pushed to your systems and channels.
Indicative ranges based on standard requirements. Bespoke / hazardous / temperature-controlled goods are quoted separately. Get an exact quote for your volumes →
For a cathedral city, Lichfield carries a surprisingly heavy logistics footprint, and the reason is simple: Fradley Park sits on its doorstep. That park has become one of the fastest-growing distribution locations in the Midlands, strung along the A38 with quick reach to the A5 and the M6 Toll at T5. Sitting in Staffordshire's WS13 and WS14 postcodes, Lichfield is roughly 45 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core - further out than the triangle's heart, but firmly plugged into the same motorway grid.
The A38 is Lichfield's backbone, running north towards Burton and south into Birmingham, while the M6 Toll at T5 and the M42 at Junction 9 give operators a way to skirt the congested central motorway box. That combination is exactly what has drawn big-shed distribution to Fradley Park, alongside Britannia Enterprise Park and the older Trent Valley estate. Together they offer a spread of modern logistics units and light-industrial space within a couple of minutes of a trunk road.
Lichfield's business base is weighted towards distribution, logistics and light manufacturing, and its neighbours reinforce that character. Tamworth's Relay Park lies just east across the M42, Cannock's warehousing cluster sits west along the A5 and M6 Toll, and Burton upon Trent - Britain's brewing capital - is a short run north on the A38. Goods routed through Lichfield can therefore tap into a dense Staffordshire logistics network without ever leaving the A38 corridor for long.
For stock control, Lichfield's position matters less than the discipline applied to it. Every unit here has a location and every pick is scanned, and a rolling cycle-count programme runs against the live operation — so the figure on your screen is the figure on the shelf rather than an estimate corrected once a year.

Local answers for Lichfield, plus the questions every inventory management client asks.
Fradley Park, on the A38 just outside the city, is one of the Midlands' fastest-growing distribution parks. Add the M6 Toll at T5 and the M42 at Junction 9 and Lichfield gives operators big-shed capacity with a clean run around the central motorway box.
Lichfield sits roughly 45 minutes from the DIRFT/Rugby core in the WS13 and WS14 postcodes. It is on the outer edge of the triangle, but the A38 and M6 Toll keep the trunk run into the hub straightforward.
We work across Fradley Park for modern distribution units, Britannia Enterprise Park, and the established Trent Valley estate. That range lets us place light-industrial and larger logistics stock close to the A38 as needed.
Yes. Tamworth's Relay Park is just east over the M42 and Cannock's warehousing cluster sits west along the A5 and M6 Toll. We route between them regularly, so Lichfield works well as a Staffordshire staging point.
It does. Joining at T5 lets vehicles bypass the busiest stretch of the M6 through the conurbation, which makes southbound and Birmingham-bound runs from Lichfield more predictable, especially at peak times.
Fixed locations, barcode verification on every pick, and a perpetual cycle-count programme weighted so your fastest-moving SKUs are checked most often. We work to 99.5%+ on managed accounts.
No. Counting runs continuously against the live operation, so there is no stocktake weekend, no overtime and no backlog afterwards. Full wall-to-wall counts are available separately if an audit needs one.
It is investigated before anything is adjusted, and the cause is recorded — mis-pick, mis-receipt, damage, short delivery. You authorise the adjustment. The cause report is what stops it recurring.
Yes — batch, lot and expiry tracked where your products need it, with short-dated stock flagged while it can still be sold.
Located storage with cycle counting from £4.50 per pallet per week, reporting and integration from £150 per week, full stocktakes quoted per count. Monthly rolling, no setup fee.
